Rams GM Les Snead has done an awesome job assembling the current roster in Los Angeles. He’s nailed picks such as Aaron Donald, Rob Havenstein, Tyler Higbee, Cooper Kupp, Sebastian Joseph-Day and several others.
But he’s also missed out on some great players, too, as every team has. Not drafting Bobby Wagner in 2012 might be his biggest mistake. Snead even has a “Bobby Wagner Rule” after trading away from the stud linebacker 10 years ago.
The rule is that you shouldn’t get cute and worry about accumulating picks by trading back if a good player you really like falls in the draft. That was the case with Wagner, who went to the Seahawks at No. 47 overall after the Rams traded the 45th overall pick to the Bears for Nos. 50 and 150.
